<p>The search is on for a cost-effective alternative fish food. And we don't mean the Ben &amp; Jerry's Ice Cream flavor. What we're talking about is the pellets fed to farmed fish. A key ingredient in commercial feed is other fish caught in the wild. Northwest trout farmers - and some salmon growers - recognize that practice is unsustainable. But trout are carnivores.

<p>HOOD RIVER, Ore. -- Northwest-born Gardenburger and Tofurky are vegetarian alternatives to meat. They sell well, but they don&#39;t fool any meat lovers. This year, food companies from here and abroad aim to debut fake meat products that come closer than ever to mimicking the real thing.

Correspondent Tom Banse explores that question.Thu, 08 Mar 2012 14:13:40 +0000Tom Banse4497 at http://nwpr.orgReal Or Fake?
